點擊次數：12142

A basic entry-level offering, the Banfi 2020 Chianti Classico is a big production of nearly half a million bottles. Sangiovese is in pole position (although there are some other traditional grapes mixed into the blend). It delivers wild fruit, earth and some dried cherry or raspberry tart that underlines the heat of the summer growing season.

The Banfi 2017 Chianti Classico presents hot vintage aromas of prune and dark fruit, followed by a relatively thin and inconsequential mouthfeel. This is an easy-quaffing expression of Sangiovese to throw back with pizza or take-out foods. I'm not sure if Banfi has vineyards in the Chianti Classico appellation, but I suspect they buy the fruit or the bulk wine.

From the heart of Tuscany’s best winemaking zone, this ruby-red wine delivers red fruit, cherry, almond skin and light spice. It’s simple, fresh and clean.——M.L.(2/1/2012)—— 85
